yeah we got the placemat too but not the bath thing, not that i was bothered coz i already have a teddy one that has a temp reading on it.

was guttered the BFing seminar wasnt on sun tho as i wanted to go to that one

ya cant see everything in the pic lol but i definately think i did pretty well, far more than what i was expecting with what some of you guys were saying...we might go back next time but might just depend on what stores go and the seminars more as there was definately more for pregnant mummas and newborns

Wow you did alright Bam.

We got a placemat which was cool and the bath thermometer thingy.

Was good to see the LLL people and we did buy a highchair from Mocka, but they are having the same deals on their website so didn't make it worth the trip down anyway. I didn't feel there were any good deals there that you couldn't get online or at stores anyway.

I definately won't be going back. We were in and out within an hour and a half and I stopped to feed and change DS. Wish I had of seen the timetable for the seminars before we went down as we missed any of the talks we would have been interested in.

me too fox, just got home, i definately found it worth going!!

i took a pic of my stash, we even got 10 free baby coathangers lol!! (i bought the washable breastpads though lol)

I went with my sister and she got stuff to as she is a nanny. I subscribed to Treasures again for the goodie bag - wow that was impressive, even my sister was looking at it. Oh Baby subscription goodie bag wasn't that flash IMO. If you want my opinion on it I am happy to give my honest feedback. Also being told that I had to fill in a form to get the mag for the auditors wasn't that nice.

I have to say that compared to 6 years ago when I went for the first time, I didn't get nearly as many samples etc. Gone are the days of Watties, Golden Circle and all the formula companies giving their product away rather than charging for the sample.

OK thanks for that Katherine, last time I spoke to her she was coming over for it still. But things have changed now with the new job. I still have my sister to see and shopping to do. Now wondering if it will be worth going to the show at all now.

Becks, is that Emma from our team you're coming to see, or another Emma? Because if it's our Emma -- who is no longer "our" Emma, as she's moved to Sydney and has a great new job, she unfortunately won't be at the show with us as her new job has taken precedence! I'm sure she misses her forum friends though!

Its only $10 and you certainly get enough freebies to cover it. I've found I go round all the stalls first then go back to the ones I want to buy from later - also saves having to carry to much stuff. 
I'm planning to be there 3 hours by the time I've seen everything and waited for the shows etc. May take a packed lunch to avoid the greesy chips and save $$.

The stadium has eftpos machines.  Depends I've been twice before 1st time took ages, 2nd not so much. However being pregnant I've got more I'd like to see and I'm staying for a couple of the seminars on birth and breastfeeding.

We're going. Probably on Sunday. I can't wait!!

DOn't worry I will be there, I ahve an Emma I have to see, that is the main reason for me coming down.

Of course we're doing a special deal... But I can't tell you what it is! You'll have to go to the show to find out! :)

Thats what I am going to try and do.

Parking is usually $5 you'll cash though. Yup TSB

Me - Saturday will probably be there close to opening time. Need a Meet Up sign at the OB stand.

Who's going? What time you going?

And....... Can OB spill if they are offering anything when you get your subscription there???
